Microsoft’s flagship productivity AI for Microsoft 365 has a glaring privacy problem: for weeks a code error allowed Copilot Chat to read and summarize emails that organizations had explicitly labelled as confidential, bypassing Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls and undermining a core tenant...
Microsoft Edge’s latest stable updates include two surprisingly useful AI actions — Summarize and Explain inside the built‑in PDF reader — and they arrive as part of a much broader Edge 145 refresh that blends productivity wins, enterprise controls, and a reminder that new features bring new...
Gentoo has quietly begun the long, deliberate task of pulling its contributor-facing mirrors off GitHub and onto Codeberg, a move the distribution frames as a practical workaround for an ethical and operational problem: GitHub’s increasingly aggressive push of Copilot-style AI features into...
Microsoft’s Copilot push entered a new, more automated phase this month as the company confirmed a staged rollout of PowerPoint Agent Mode, a feature that can autonomously build presentations by pulling content from SharePoint, OneDrive, email, and Teams conversations—part of a wider wave of...
For years, Notepad was the little, instant-open tool you reached for when you needed a scratch, a quick edit, or a place to paste a one-off command—no sign‑in, no telemetry prompts, no bloated menus. That era is changing, and the shift is more than cosmetic: Microsoft has steadily reworked...
Dynamics Square’s upcoming webinar on February 12, 2026 promises a practical playbook for industrial, project-driven businesses to replace spreadsheets and paper trails with a single, connected Microsoft stack—centered on Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics 365 Project Operations—and to...
Microsoft’s position looks far less bulletproof today than it did a year ago: investor downgrades tied to AI spending and Copilot traction, a growing chorus of regulatory and competitor complaints about cloud licensing, and class-action litigation in the UK have converged to put real pressure on...
Microsoft’s February 2026 Windows 11 update is less a splashy feature roll‑out and more a deliberate quality push: Microsoft has bundled targeted usability refinements, performance and stability work, deeper but gated Copilot/AI improvements, and several under‑the‑hood security and manageability...
Windows 11 can look friendly and familiar at first glance, but beneath the rounded corners and centered icons lies a surprising collection of productivity, security, and AI features that many users never discover. The widely circulated "31 hidden tricks" checklist is a practical map: small UI...
Microsoft has pushed the first public preview of what it’s calling the Windows 11 26H2 era into the Dev Channel — but don’t expect a single megarelease; what landed is a platform/enablement milestone with deeper Copilot integrations, a handful of practical fixes, and meaningful implications for...
Microsoft’s sudden course correction on visible Windows 11 AI features marks a rare — and consequential — pivot from an all‑in AI rollout toward a more measured, user‑centric approach, with Microsoft reportedly pulling back on Copilot placements in system apps and reassessing the controversial...
Windows 11 has officially crossed the 1 billion‑user threshold — a milestone Microsoft announced during its fiscal Q2 FY2026 earnings call — but that headline moment comes amid growing user frustration, a bumpy update cadence and a public pledge from Windows leadership to “fix what matters” in...
Microsoft’s claim that Windows 11 now reaches “over 1 billion monthly active devices” landed like a victory lap — and immediately reopened a broader debate about the state of the operating system. The milestone, flagged in Microsoft’s Windows Experience Blog, coincided with intense and public...
Microsoft’s announcement that Windows 11 has passed the 1 billion‑user mark landed as both milestone and mirror: a headline achievement that confirms broad platform reach, and a prompt to scrutinize what “1 billion users” actually measures and why it matters now. The company revealed the figure...

Windows 11’s roadmap for 2026 is starting to take shape: Microsoft has split this year’s work into a narrow, hardware-focused spring release that primes the OS for next‑generation Arm chips and a bigger, user‑facing feature wave planned for the second half of the year. What that means in...
I walked the CES floor this year feeling a rare kind of optimism — the kind you get when hardware designers, component makers, and OEMs finally line up behind a clear vision for faster, quieter, and genuinely smarter PCs. Then I read the week’s internal memo and comment threads, and that...
The ROG Xbox Ally X represents the most aggressive hardware bet yet on making Windows a believable handheld gaming platform, but early reviews — including a full review that recommends considering the Lenovo Legion Go 2 instead — make clear this is still a tradeoff between hardware ambition and...
Microsoft’s oft-repeated line that “Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows” is now a piece of historical context rather than a roadmap — a pivot point that helps explain how Microsoft’s strategy shifted from versioned releases to continuous service and then, unexpectedly, back to a new...
Microsoft's future-of-Windows fantasy videos keep doing the heavy lifting for public expectation—AR 4789's latest concept, a polished "Windows 12.1" reel that shows installation while you game or browse, a taut minimalist shell, and a tidier File Explorer, has reignited debates about what...
